[aprssig] Andorid APRS

Jason,
One thing I am also pretty interested in is having a cable to
interface between something like a TH-D7 and android devices via USB
... to let the phone both act as an IGATE and also send its position
to the radio for TX. Also, plot received radio positions to the phone.
Is this something that RPC could be interested in helping with? I'm
willing to work on the code if you guys can help make a cable. Its
also possible to do this for iPhone now, but you have to jump through
some hoops with apple to be an 'official' hardware.
